When You Feel Stuck As An Indie Creative... Some Rambles on Reframing

Real talk: the journey of building a life around indie creativity isn't always smooth sailing! Be it external pressures to not knowing where to head, you might run into situations where you just feel a bit stuck. In this video I share more about how I've been feeling stuck with my projects having failed to launch my business multiple times, and how I'm working to incorporate reframing into my mindset and approach to my journey.

It took me a good 29 years to figure out what I wanted to do creatively in the long run. And you know what? It took me another 3 years after that to turn it into a full-time gig. Along the way, I stumbled, doubted myself, and spent money on things I thought were important. But you know what else? I wouldn't change a thing about it now. It wasn't a walk in the park, but when you pursue something you're truly passionate about, it's worth every bit of effort and time. So, keep at it, my friend. Pursue what you love, and although it may take a while, you'll get there, I promise.
By the way, Ash, I used to believe that I had to be flawless right from the beginning. That mindset held me back, preventing me from taking the first step. But here's a revelation: there's no such thing as a perfect time to start. You can begin with nothing or start small. The journey itself is where the real enjoyment lies. Waiting for perfection robs us of purpose. So, don't overthink it-just start! Embrace imperfection, and you'll find fulfillment along the way.
